TRADE SHOW TEAMS WITH PLAY INDUSTRY

GroundsFest, which is set to take place at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire on 20 and 21 September this year, has announced a new strategic partnership with the Association of Play Industries (API).

The API is the lead trade association for the UK play sector. Its member companies are providers of outdoor playground equipment; indoor play equipment and safety surfacing. The Association will have a dedicated stand at the event to promote membership services and many of its members will be exhibiting. GroundsFest’s free educational seminar programme will also feature API-badged sessions. 

API chair Mark Hardy, said, “We are looking forward to seeing how this new event will promote the play industry and in particular, provide an opportunity for API members to showcase their offerings. 

“All API members abide by a strict professional Code of Conduct and are committed to value-for-money and long-term service and support. This exhibition will enable members to exhibit their products and demonstrate the high-quality, innovative and fun ranges so typical of our members.

Commenting on the partnership, GroundsFest’s sales director Charles Neale, said, “The play industry will form an integral part of the GroundsFest event profile in September 2023 and will give the play industry an ideal platform to promote its services and products to a highly relevant national audience of buyers and specifiers.”
